Narrative nursing for negative emotions in patients with acute pancreatitis: Based on model construction and application

BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP), as a common acute abdomen disease, has a high incidence rate worldwide and is often accompanied by severe complications. Negative emotions lead to increased secretion of stress hormones, elevated blood sugar levels, and enhanced insulin resistance, which in turn increases the risk of AP and significantly affects the patient's quality of life. Therefore, exploring the intervention effects of narrative nursing programs on the negative emotions of patients with AP is not only helpful in alleviating psychological stress and improving quality of life but also has significant implications for improving disease outcomes and prognosis. AIM To construct a narrative nursing model for negative emotions in patients with AP and verify its efficacy in application. METHODS Through Delphi expert consultation, a narrative nursing model for negative emotions in patients with AP was constructed. A non-randomized quasi-experimental study design was used in this study. A total of 92 patients with AP with negative emotions admitted to a tertiary hospital in Nantong City of Jiangsu Province, China from September 2022 to August 2023 were recruited by convenience sampling, among whom 46 patients admitted from September 2022 to February 2023 were included in the observation group, and 46 patients from March to August 2023 were selected as control group. The observation group received narrative nursing plan, while the control group was given with routine nursing. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), positive and negative affect scale (PANAS), caring behavior scale, patient satisfaction scale and 36-item short form health survey questionnaire (SF-36) were used to evaluate their emotions, satisfaction and caring behaviors in the two groups on the day of discharge, 1-and 3-month following discharge. RESULTS According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 45 cases in the intervention group and 44 cases in the control group eventually recruited and completed in the study. On the day of discharge, the intervention group showed significantly lower scores of SAS, SDS and negative emotion (28.57 ± 4.52 vs 17.4 ± 4.44, P < 0.001), whereas evidently higher outcomes in the positive emotion score, Caring behavior scale score and satisfaction score compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that significant between-group differences were found in time effect, inter-group effect and interaction effect of SAS and PANAS scores as well as in time effect and inter-group effect of SF-36 scores (P < 0.05); the SF-36 scores of two groups at 3 months after discharge were higher than those at 1 month after discharge (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The application of narrative nursing protocols has demonstrated significant effectiveness in alleviating anxiety, ameliorating negative emotions, and enhancing satisfaction among patients with AP.

Correlation linking illness perception, negative emotions, and the post-operative recovery effect in patients with perianal disease

BACKGROUND Improvements in the standard of living have led to increased attention to perianal disease. Although surgical treatments are effective, the outcomes of post-operative recovery (POR) are influenced by various factors, including individual differences among patients, the characteristics of the disease itself, and the psychological state of the patient. Understanding these factors can help healthcare providers develop more personalized and effective post-operative care plans for patients with perianal disease. AIM To investigate the effect of illness perception (IP) and negative emotions on POR outcomes in patients with perianal disease. METHODS A total of 146 patients with perianal disease admitted to the First People's Hospital of Changde City from March to December 2023 were recruited. We employed a general information questionnaire, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). We used the 15-item Quality of Recovery Score (QoR-15) to measure patients’ recovery effects. Finally, we conducted Pearson’s correlation analysis to examine the relationship between pre-operative IP and anxiety and depression levels with POR quality. RESULTS Fifty-three (36.3%) had poor knowledge of their disease. Thirty (20.5%) were suspected of having anxiety and 99 (67.8%) exhibited symptoms. Forty (27.4%) were suspected of having depression and 102 (69.9%) displayed symptoms. The B-IPQ, HADS-A, HADS-D, and QoR-15 scores were 46.82 ± 9.97, 12.99 ± 3.60, 12.58 ± 3.36, and 96.77 ± 9.85, respectively. There was a negative correlation between pre-operative IP, anxiety, and depression with POR quality. The influence of age and disease course on post-operative rehabilitation effect are both negative. The impact of B-IPQ, HADS-A, and HADS-D on POR was negative. Collectively, these variables accounted for 72.6% of the variance in POR. CONCLUSION The quality of POR in patients with perianal disease is medium and is related to age, disease course, IP, anxiety, and depression.

‘Yes, we care’: pro-environmental social identity framing to promote acceptance of decentralized wastewater treatment systems

ABSTRACT Decentralized wastewater treatment systems can help mitigate the water crisis. Their successful implementation depends not only on their technological design but also on the level of public support. We aim to assess how a pro-environmental social identity framing in which we present a decentralized wastewater treatment system as an environmentally responsible neighborhood initiative may increase public support of these systems. Two experimental studies examined the impact of pro-environmental social identity framing on public acceptance of decentralized wastewater systems in Groningen (the Netherlands) (n = 92) and Santiago de Compostela (Spain) (n = 208). As expected, pro-environmental social identity framing increased public acceptance in both studies, irrespective of the extent to which people identify with their neighborhood. Specifically, participants in the pro-environmental social identity framing condition displayed more positive attitudes, more positive and less negative emotions, and higher voting intentions toward the decentralized wastewater systems compared to those in the control condition. These results suggest that connecting such systems to shared neighborhood identities can be an effective strategy for overcoming barriers to their implementation. Our study offers valuable insights for policymakers, community leaders, and environmental advocates to craft messages to promote the adoption of decentralized wastewater systems.

Indulging in virtual luxuries: unveiling the allure of impulse buying in metaverse

PurposeThis study aimed to examine consumers’ impulse purchases of luxury products in the metaverse, specifically by exploring how consumers’ motivational and emotional experiences affect virtual luxury product purchases in the metaverse.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was administered to a total of 230 users of various metaverse platforms in China. The data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) disjoint two-stage approach.FindingsThe findings indicated that motivational experience (goal importance and goal interest) and positive emotion (fantasy, feeling and fun) have positive effects on impulse buying of luxury products in the metaverse, but none for negative emotions (loneliness and isolation).Practical implicationsThis study indicated that understanding and leveraging consumers’ motivational experiences and positive emotions can drive their impulse buying behaviour of luxury products in the metaverse, hence providing virtual and brand retailers with a testbed for their products before they launch in the physical market.Originality/valueThis study enriches our comprehension of consumers’ metaverse luxury purchases by delving into the impacts of motivational and emotional experiences on impulse buying behaviours.

ВПЛИВ ЕМОЦІЙНОГО СТАВЛЕННЯ В СІМ’Ї НА АДАПТИВНІ ВЗАЄМОСТОСУНКИ БАТЬКІВ ТА ДІТЕЙ СТАРШОГО ШКІЛЬНОГО ВІКУ

In the article we showed, that the family, as a small group, created for its members such conditions for emotional manifestations and satisfaction of emotional needs that enable a person to feel that he belonged to society. The family differs from other small groups in the diversity, depth and duration of the ties that unite its members. It is these characteristics of the family that make it indispensable in raising the younger generation, since they provide a long-lasting, deeply emotional and multifaceted influence on the formation of the child’s personality. We justified, that the child’s experience of his/her place in the family, the child’s interaction with the family as a whole and with its individual members was associated with the interpersonal relationships that existed in it. We proved, that the analysis of the “family-child” relationships was expressed by us in the assessment of the following orientations: interpersonal aspects of family interaction and the characteristics of communication of its members; the importance of personal criteria (motives, needs, self-awareness); attitudes, relationships of family members. Living in a family, a child accumulates a lot of experience in interpersonal relationships. Correctly or distortedly, he perceives how his parents treat him/her, as they avoid him/her, are dissatisfied with the child, recognize his/her autonomy, or infringe on him/her, how kindly they treat the child. Over time, children realize how loved and significant they are to their parents. Our researches show that a child’s body and his/her psyche feel a constant need for positive emotional support from parents. The nature of emotions greatly affects the child’s health, determines his/her vitality, attitudes to the world around a child. The influence of positive emotions reduces the child’s excitement, ensures the normal functioning of his/her body’s functional systems. It has been proven that under the conditions of long-term exposure to a traumatic nature, negative emotions inevitably are arisen in a child. This fact complicates the course of the child’s mental development: it makes it difficult to establish adaptive interpersonal relationships with others, prevents him/her from mastering new adaptive social roles, the development of communication skills and possibilities of interpersonal interaction. Adaptive family relationships between the family and the child’s side can shape the child’s positive outlook on the world and on himself/herself. However, these same officials, but with other psychological changes, can facilitate low self-esteem of children, distrust of others. In such a way, the emotional situation in the family directly flows into the adaptive mutual relationships between fathers and children of high school.

Using online negative emotions to predict risk-coping behaviors in the relocation of Beijing municipal government.

This article explores the use of online negative emotions to predict public risk-coping behaviors during urban relocation. Through a literature review, the paper proposes hypotheses that anticipate advanced prediction of public risk-coping behaviors based on online negative emotions. The study's empirical focus is on the relocation of the Beijing municipal government, using time series data for Granger causality analysis in EViews 10.0 software. Data on online negative emotions is sourced from Sina Weibo. After data cleaning, 1420 pieces of data related to the relocation policy of the Beijing Municipal Government within the period from June 9, 2015 to April 28, 2019 are retained. while risk-coping behaviors are measured through public information search behaviors and the incidence of violent crimes, the data coverage is also from June 9, 2015 to April 28, 2019. The results indicated that: (1) Online negative emotions regarding the relocation policy predict public risk-coping behaviors in advance. (2) Negative comments are more effective predictors than negative feelings; (3) Negative emotions about relocation policy formulation predict risk-coping behaviors better than those related to policy effectiveness and implementation; (4) Negative emotions from individuals better predict public risk-coping behaviors than those from institutions; (5) Negative emotions from key stakeholders better predict public risk-coping behaviors than those from non-key or marginal stakeholders. It is recommended that relevant departments establish a real-time monitoring system to track negative public opinions and emotions expressed online, adopt a stakeholder-centric approach to facilitate communication, and promote transparency and educational campaigns to address the challenges of urban relocation. In future studies, methods such as expanding the sample size and adding indicators will be used to address the limitations of potential bias in sample data.

Affect and executive function dynamics in primary school classrooms: an intensive longitudinal study

ABSTRACT This study investigates the temporal dynamics and affective associations related to executive function (EF) performance in primary school classrooms using an intensive longitudinal design. Data were collected from 35 students aged 8.9 to 11.4 years. Participants reported their affective experiences and completed EF measures three times daily following a fixed sampling schedule. The data collection spanned two consecutive school weeks across three primary school classrooms. Utilising Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling (DSEM), we examined 505 measurements of EF tasks and self-reported affective states over two weeks. The findings reveal significant within-person variability in EF, accounting for 52% of the observed variance, with performance declining later in the day and week. At the within-person level, positive affect was associated with improved EF performance, while negative affect was associated with poorer EF. No significant between-person relationships were found. These results underscore the importance of considering within-person processes and affective experiences in educational settings and highlight the need for further research employing intensive longitudinal methods to better understand the nuanced dynamics of affect and EF in real-world classroom environments.

Validation of the Coping with Children’s Negative Emotions Scale Adapted to the Early Childhood Education and Care Context

ABSTRACT Research Findings: The Coping with Children’s Negative Emotions Scale (CCNES) is a self-report instrument developed to measure parents’ emotion socialization with their children. This study examined the factorial and convergent validity of a short version of the CCNES adapted for the early childhood education and care (ECEC) context. Using exploratory factor analysis with responses from 490 ECEC-workers from the Oslo Early Education Study, our results revealed a three-factor structure of the CCNES, including emotion dismissing, emotion coaching, and emotion distracting. Model specifications were conducted in half the sample and cross-validated in the other half. ECEC-workers’ coaching and distracting correlated positively with each other and with their reports of supportive scaffolding practices and self-efficacy in supporting children’s socioemotional development. Dismissing correlated negatively with these measures. Practice and Policy. Our results indicate that this ECEC version of the CCNES is a valid instrument to assess ECEC-workers’ emotion socialization strategies in interactions with children and to support the use of distracting as a separate strategy. This instrument enables us to extend our knowledge of teacher–child interaction quality in ECEC by examining associations with children’s development. The CCNES could also form the baseline for discussions and reflections about ECEC-workers’ professional roles and development.

Beyond the negativity of the emotion of fear: religious fear as a case in point

Fear is regularly cited as a typical example of a ‘negative emotion’. The present article considers alternative perspectives, seeking to develop a theoretical framework that takes into account the possibility of perceiving fear as an emotion that can carry ‘positivity’. As a test case of a possible positive function of fear, I analyse the religious discourse surrounding fear in Israeli ultra-Orthodox society, where fear is often regarded as a positive emotion. I argue that the ‘positive’ traits that the ultra-Orthodox ascribe to fear can be employed as a model for elucidating the ‘positive’ functions of fear in other contexts as well. The article’s first two parts are devoted to clarifying the relativist stance regarding the essence of fear and presenting the test case of religious fear. In the following parts I isolate three perspectives offered by the religious approach that may also shed light on a general understanding of how fear operates as a ‘positive’ emotion: (1) broadening the range of reactions to fear beyond the ‘fight or flight’ response; (2) the epistemological function of fear in constructing truth and knowledge; (3) the possibility that the very experience of fear can be framed and felt as positive. In conclusion, I will argue that the case of fear shows that the broad categorisation into ‘negative’ and ‘positive’ within the emotional realm may impair the theoretical and scholarly understanding of emotions, and I will propose an alternative approach to this categorisation.

Memristive Neural Network Circuit of Negative Emotion Inhibition With Self‐Repair and Memory

ABSTRACTThe generated mechanism of negative emotion involves the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala in the brain. Based on the biological mechanism, this paper proposes a memristive neural network circuit of negative emotion inhibition with self‐repair and memory. The proposed memristive neural network circuit consists of five modules: memory (hippocampus) module, inhibition (prefrontal cortex) module, damage detection module, repair module, and output (amygdala) module. The memory module does not respond to a small negative signal, but a large negative signal will cause the memory module to form memories. If the large negative signal repeats, the memory module will output a memory signal to the inhibition module. The inhibition module receives the negative signal and the memory signal and then generates an inhibition signal. When the negative signal is small, the inhibition module outputs normally. When the large negative signal is applied for the first time, the inhibition module becomes damaged and the output is abnormal. As the memristor in the inhibition module has exceeded its damaged threshold, the damage detection module will generate a damaged signal to the repair module. The repair module will restore the memristance of the memristor in the inhibition module after receiving the damaged signal. If the large negative signal is applied again, the memory signal from the memory module will help the inhibition module to output normally. The output module receives the negative signal and the inhibition signal and then generates the negative emotion signal appropriately. The PSPICE simulation results show that the hippocampus generates memories after learning and transmits them to the prefrontal cortex, and then the prefrontal cortex inhibits the amygdala to generate the negative emotion appropriately. The proposed memristive neural network circuit can be applied to the robots, which can flexibly alter the intensity of the negative emotion expressed by the robots.

Remembering the blues: negative emotion during encoding improve memory recall in major depressive Disorder

ABSTRACT Substantial research indicates that individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) remember more negative information compared to neutral and positive information. This phenomenon is commonly attributed to attentional biases toward negative over neutral and positive information. A recent attentional resources model suggests that in MDD, negative cues not only capture attention, but also lead to deeper processing of subsequent information, irrespective of its content. This study aimed to replicate findings supporting this attentional resources model and go beyond it by investigating the effect of negative cues on encoding and retrieval processes. Forty-one participants with MDD and no comorbid diagnoses, and 42 healthy-controls completed the emotional recall task with negative or positive videos presented during encoding and retrieval stages of a neutral word-list memory test. During encoding, only the MDD group exhibited a difference between negative and positive videos, such that for negative videos memory recall was improved and for positive words it was reduced. Emotional videos had no effect when presented during retrieval. These results suggest that in MDD, encountering emotional cues not only biases retrieval processes toward recalling more negative content, but rather fundamentally alters the depth of information processing, while not leading to a broad-spectrum recruitment of cognitive resources.

"You sit in abubble while the others go about their lives"-perspectives of Ukrainian refugee mothers with children aged 0-3years

Little is known about the situation of Ukrainian parents with children up to the age of three who have fled to Germany since Russia's attack on Ukraine. The aim of the National Center for Early Intervention research project is to explore the perspective of this group on their lives in Germany. This analysis focuses on the burdens and resources of the parents and their knowledge and use of support services. In 17interviews (duration approx. one hour each), parents (16mothers, one father) who had fled from Ukraine to Germany with children up to the age of three were interviewed between October and December 2022, and their answers were qualitatively analyzed using structured content analysis. The interviewees primarily described the psychological stress caused by war and flight, negative emotions such as feelings of loneliness, sadness and lack of motivation, and obstacles to integration as burdens. Resources were primarily networks of Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking people in Germany as well as personal resources such as self-care skills. Supporting services were generally communicated via electronic media. Services for childcare, language courses, and support with health issues were considered particularly useful. Alack of childcare was the most important reason for not taking up other services. The psychological stress of the interviewees indicates aneed for therapy capacities in their native language. Childcare may enable Ukrainians to attend language courses that promote integration. The self-organized networks of the Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking community should be involved in the development of interventions for this target group in aparticipatory manner from the outset.

Interpersonal Goals and Language Use During the Disclosure of a Concealable Stigmatized Identity: A LIWC Analysis

Previous theorizing suggests that the first stage of self-disclosure is the pursuit of an interpersonal goal. However, among individuals disclosing a concealable stigmatized identity, little is known about how their goals impact downstream processes such as language use and post-disclosure affect. Using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC), we examined the extent to which primed self-image or compassionate goals influence the linguistic content and style of disclosure, as well as dyad members’ affective states. Self-image disclosures were high in negative self-focused attention, whereas compassionate disclosures were more inclusive and positive in valence. Moreover, among disclosers, negative emotion words predicted their own negative affect. Among confidants, first-person singular and second-person pronouns predicted negative affect, however, this outcome was inversely related to disclosers’ use of social words. Compassionate goals that seek mutually beneficial outcomes may help disclosers communicate information about their stigma more effectively, and attenuate dyad members’ feelings of emotional distress.

Effect of hyperhidrosis on quality of life and its correlation with anxiety

Hyperhidrosis, characterized by excessive sweating beyond thermoregulatory needs, affects about 3% of the global population. This condition, often underreported and underdiagnosed, significantly impairs quality of life (QoL) and may correlate with increased anxiety.This study explores the impact of hyperhidrosis on QoL and examines its correlation with anxiety levels among affected individuals.A qualitative and correlational study was conducted over two months, involving 70 participants who met inclusion criteria from an initial screening of 366 individuals. Data were collected using a QoL questionnaire and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Participants were recruited through snowball sampling from a dermatology department and social networks.Of the 70 participants, 91.4% reported that excessive sweating adversely affected their daily lives. Key areas impacted included physical activities (37.1%), hobbies and chores (50%), work and career (24.3%), use of technology (37.5%), physical discomfort (62.8%), and clothing choices (50%). Psychosocial effects were substantial, with 88.6% of participants experiencing negative emotions, 78.5% reporting nervousness and lack of self-confidence, and 82.8% avoiding social interactions. STAI results indicated that 11.4% had no or low anxiety, 52.8% had moderate anxiety, and 35.7% had high anxiety. The severity of hyperhidrosis correlated with higher anxiety levels. Hyperhidrosis profoundly impacts QoL and is strongly associated with elevated anxiety levels. Despite its significant effects, there is a lack of awareness and understanding of hyperhidrosis among sufferers and healthcare providers. Enhancing awareness and implementing appropriate interventions are crucial to improve the QoL and mental health of individuals with hyperhidrosis.

Effects on personal and cultural wellbeing of attending free community outreach concerts given by a professional orchestra

Despite hundreds of investigations into the benefits of arts engagement for health and wellbeing, much of what we know comes from research in clinical settings, and little is understood about the positive effects of attending live musical performances. As many professional orchestras have begun re-examining their purpose and mission statements, they also seek ways to measure their impact beyond ticket sales and donations in hopes of highlighting positive effects on concertgoers and their community. The purpose of this study was to explore the impacts of a free community outreach concert series provided by a professional orchestra on individual and community wellbeing in a large city in the United States. The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews, paired interviews, and a focus group with 18 participants between the ages of 18 and 77 years. Abductive analysis allowed us to consider emerging themes and pre-existing theories of wellbeing concurrently. The results showed three primary areas of impact on concert attendees’ wellbeing: emotional, social, and cultural. Concert attendance fostered positive emotional states and reduced negative emotions, led to personal feelings of connection with the orchestra and across the community, and contributed to personal- and local-cultural wellbeing. In addition to reinforcing much of the prior scholarship on the effects on wellbeing of arts participation, particularly in the emotional and social domains, the results highlight new possible connections between community outreach programs and increased cultural wellbeing.

Understanding Parenting Stress in Adoptive Parents: A Longitudinal Multilevel Study of Parents' Self-Criticism, Child Negative Emotionality, and Child Age at Placement.

Research on parenting stress in adoptive parents during the early years post-placement reveals significant variability, yet few studies examine both parent- and child-related factors. This study investigates the role of the personality dimension of self-criticism and perceived negative child emotionality in relation to parenting stress during the first four years after transnational adoption. Additionally, it explores the moderating effect of child age at placement, a key factor associated with early adversity. Drawing upon a longitudinal five-wave dataset in the first 4 years after the child arrived in the adoptive family, this study used multi-informant data of 96 adoptive mothers and fathers of transnationally adopted children (mean child age at placement = 13.48 months). Data were analyzed using a multilevel structural equation modeling approach. Parents' self-criticism was positively associated with parenting stress at the between-parent level. At the within-parent level, year-to-year fluctuations in both parents' self-criticism and perceived child's negative emotionality were positively associated with corresponding fluctuations in parenting stress. Child age at placement did not moderate any of these associations. Overall, this study yielded convincing evidence for the dynamic nature of parenting stress in the first years after child placement, the role of parental self-criticism, and the child's perceived negative emotionality herein.

An Exploratory Study to Test the Psychometric Properties of Character Strengths-Semantic Differential Scale (CS-SDS) Among Singaporean Adults

Character strengths encompass a set of positive traits that can be manifested through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. To measure the 24 character strengths, the Character Strengths-Semantic Differential Scale (CS-SDS) was used. The aim of the study was to (a) test the factor structure of CS-CDS and (b) test the convergent validity of CS-CDS with life satisfaction and positive affect, and the divergent validity of CS-SDS with negative affect. In total, 283 Singaporean students (96 males, 35.3%), with a median age of 24–26 years old (42.9%), participated in this study. Exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) showed the multi-dimensional nature of CS-SDS. Specifically, EFA demonstrated a four-factor model, while CFA identified a five-factor model, showing the dimensions of interpersonal, emotional, restraint, theological, and intellectual. All factors were significantly related to life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect. It was concluded that CS-SDS is a psychometrically sound instrument for measuring character strengths in the Asian context. This tool can be used for designing strength-based interventions aimed at promoting well-being and character among students in higher education.

Correlation of higher right-wing authoritarianism and lower social dominance orientation with greater subjective well-being in China.

The associations between authoritarian personality and subjective well-being remains understudied, especially in China. In addition, as Chinese individuals and Chinese organizations generally attach importance to authority, exploring the matching effect of individual authoritarian personality and organizational culture (OC) can provide information for career selection, talent recruitment and university enrollment. The present study aimed to test associations between authoritarian personality traits (right-wing authoritarian, RWA; social dominance orientation, SDO) and subjective well-being (SWB; including positive affect, PA; negative affect, NA; and life satisfaction, LS) at the general and component-specific levels and the possible moderating role of OC (military or nonmilitary universities) on the associations in Chinese culture for the first time. A total of 6,580 Chinese students from military and nonmilitary universities were surveyed using the Right Wing Authoritarianism Scale, Social Dominance Orientation Scale, Campbell Index of Well-being, Patient Health Questionnaire, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. A higher score on RWA, but lower on SDO, correlated with greater SWB at both the general level and the component-specific levels. The links of RWA/SDO and positive factors (PA/LS) of SWB as well as latent SWB were moderated by the OC (being in military or nonmilitary universities). Specifically, these correlations were stronger for military than for civilian students. Further, although the moderating roles of OC existed in all three subgroups (sex, age, and socioeconomic status [SES] level), the negative link between OC and latent SWB existed in the male, younger, and high-SES individuals, while this link was not significant in female, older, and low-SES ones. The present study extends the findings of the moderating roles of organizational culture on the positive RWA-SWB relationship and the negative SDO-SWB relationship in oriental cultural contexts.

The effectiveness of stress-management-based cognitive-behavioral treatments on anxiety sensitivity, positive and negative affect and hope

The effectiveness of stress-management-based cognitive-behavioral treatments on anxiety sensitivity, positive and negative affect and hope
